onx on HKx1so, Dec. 3.-In govern
ment circles thefe isno apprehension OF
difficulties with the Unifsd States over
@ renewal Of The Cutting case. The
United States made O demand upon The
Mexican government some time ago In
friendly manner, Suggesting IN order
to pFeFent future entanRlemeut and
fuptuFine OF the good relations at pres
ent existing between the two countries.
that Chihuahua and other states Of this
republic, maintaining the doctrine Of
extra territorial iuFiediction, shOuld re-
peal the law as In conflict with the e.
tablished pRinoiple Of international lay.
Indemnity IN the Cutting case is also
suggested Withont any spsoias sum be-
ing mentioned. The qnestion Is one
devoid Of personal consideEations.
Mexico showed no disposition 70 avoid
q friendly discussion of the point Of in
ternational Law involved. The matter,
IL 10 said, win 20 thro1gh the usual d.
psomatie course and satisfaction is ex-
pressed.
Bayard handled the case 90 as 10
avoid placing Mexico In an embaEEaas-
ing position. The press will very likely
deal with the matter In q different
spirit from the g0yernmsnt, the real
position Of the ease not being under

declarations are possible.
The friends Of Pfesidant Diaz, who 10

opponents Of Diax, u shat be sanctions

United States
Mr.. Me-sick, govern snent tnspeOtor OF
the colonies, who has just returned
from Lower California, said. There
Ia mos q word OF truth In the report.
The president never dreamed Of such Q
tbiue. The Amefiean residents OF
Lover California would themselves be
the strongest oBponents Of annexation,
es under Mexican rule they enjoy ex-
emption from taxes, and feceive liberal
treatment In all business ventures.
These Americans would, In fact, shoul-
der rides and fight against annsxation."
